View of Croatian Hall located at 512 2nd Avenue in Crested Butte, Colorado. The simple, two-story meeting hall has corrugated sheet metal siding on its false front with original decorative cornice and central half rondel containing the words, "Croatian Hall, of the Sub-Assembly No. 26, C.F.A." The first floor store front still maintains its original entryway and windows. At the turn of the century ethnic Croats made up a large part of Crested Butte's mining community. Built in 1885, the hall once housed meetings of the local Croatian Fraternal Union of America. In 1902 the building was rolled on logs from Elk Avenue to its present site.
